Need Dental Work

I live in Bryan, TX and I need dental work. I work in the public and i don't like it when people look at me funny because I have bad teeth. I can't even smile at people - they think I'm mad all the time. I just don't like to smile because of my bad teeth.

I Really Need Teeth, so I Can Eat

I have several missing teeth; several that are broken almost to the gums and about three or four dental abscesses. With all of these teeth I find it very very hard to eat anything. I am in so much pain about six months out of every year. I am a single mother of three who works a full time job, but does not have the money for a full mouth makeover. I have been dealing with tooth pain on and off now for about ten years.

Texan Needs Extractions and Dentures

I have broken and rotted teeth that I need taken care of. They are abcessed and make me so sick I can't work to support my children. I am embarrassed to smile.

I am a widow trying to raise my children and can't even get help to make things better for them. There is no one to help me because I am low income. While the Government says be independent, it is difficult for someone to do this if you are not in the right tax bracket. I want to avoid welfare and be self sufficient, but need help starting on this path.

Scaling and a Dental Crown

I am a 33 year old woman who has not been to the dentist in over 13 years. I had 2 root canals with a crown. Since then, I have lost both crowns, and have a few cavities that are not bothering me yet. I need a full scaling and would like to replace the crowns if possible.

I Need a Smile Makeover

Hello. I am one of the many people who have gum disease. At first, it was constant cavities. Now, that I've had my first child, my teeth have been breaking and rotting away. It is very hard for me to smile because I feel like I have one of the most awkward smiles now. I am in a pageant in July and I was told I would have won a smile makeover, but I had to get some gum work done. Anyone who knows any dentists and periodontists who are cheap around the Texas panhandle area, please let me know. My family cannot afford dental insurance nor can we afford the high price to go to most of the dentists and the periodontists in our area. Please help!

I Need Help With My Teeth

I live in Houston TX and I am in dire need of some major dental work. I have six teeth on the bottom and a partial. Two are loose and one is broken. I don't have insurance and I don't have bunches of money. I can pay, but any discount would greatly appreciated. I would trade a discount for advertising. I would not mind my picture before and after. Maybe a new practice that needs new patients. Any help finding this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I Need a Tooth Extracted

I have a back molar which has broken in half. Initially, I heard the tooth crack and the crack was below the gums. I was brushing my teeth and it cracked to the surface. The back half of the tooth is stable and the front half moves constantly but is still partially attached to the gum. Due to the tooth being broken, it is ragged around the edges. Consequently, the tooth is constantly scratching my tongue and causing my mouth to be very sore and I cannot eat.

I do not have insurance and very limited seeing as I was laid-off in 2008. I have called around to many dental offices but, there is no way I can afford the prices being quoted to me (those who are willing to offer a quote), so I am seeking assistance.

Need Major Dental Work

I have a mouth full of bad teeth. I went to a dentist to see what i needed done and the outcome was too much for me. It would cost me over $8,000 dollars to get the work I need done. I am on disability and cannot afford that kind of dental work.

I need teeth extracted, root canals. I already have missing teeth from extractions that were done in previous years. I don't like to smile or talk much because my teeth are in such bad shape. I'm looking for some help to get dental work done. I am a single and disabled, 38 year old mother of two girls, ages 13 and 18. If there is a way to get assistance I would greatly appreciate it very much. I live in the northwest Houston area. Thank you very much for taking the time to read about me.

Bad Tooth - Save or Extract?

I am in severe pain. I have a bad tooth on the lower left side of my mouth. It's been giving me some problems for about a month, but the last two days have been really painful, much worse than before. I think i had it filled when I was much younger and I'm not sure if it can be repaired again or if it needs to be pulled.

I Need a Tooth

My name is Amber. I am 24 years old and have had a front tooth missing since the age of 19. I had it fixed with a temporary bridge but, the temp only lasted two years. I have been living without a tooth for some time now and it has really effected my personality.

I used to have such a big beautiful smile and with this problem, I just am not the same anymore. My confidence level is very low and all I want to do is smile at my children again. Dental work is so expensive and I have been saving but it never seems like enough. No insurance will help me because of the "missing tooth" clause. It is so frustrating.

25 and Need Dentures

I am 25 years old with severe tooth decay. I am a non-smoker however my lack of oral hygiene leads strangers to assume things due to the appearance of my teeth. My two front teeth are broken in the middle creating a growing gap. The top back molars are broken as well as my bottom right molars. I have many broken and missing teeth on the upper level of my mouth. I don't feel pain from my teeth on a regular basis. The fact that I have let my teeth fall into disrepair to the point that I am desperate to have a normal smile makes me completely self-conscious.

Need Dental Work - Cannot afford $7000

I have went to 3 dentists in a course of a year. I have dental insurance, but they are charging me to much to have work done on my teeth. I can pay as I go, but there is no way I can pay $7000 for all of the work they say is needed.

I have tried to find a Dental School here in Houston, Texas but I do not know where to start. If there is anyone out there that can help me I would appreciate it. I have not had a cleaning in years, the dentists I have gone to are pressing me for other things and I found out I need to have a cleaning it has something to do with the heart. And if this is important, why are they not doing it. My insurance covers cleanings at 100% or 80%. Please someone give me some wise and truthful information. Thank you.

Need My Teeth Fixed

My teeth have gotten really bad. I had braces in middle school. Since then, my teeth have gotten worse. I really don't have a whole lot of money paying to get them fixed. I have always loved my smile. Since my teeth have gotten worse, I try not to show my teeth too much in pictures, because they have turned somewhat yellow. I have never smoked either! I have a 3 month old daughter and I don't want her to have the same problem with her teeth as I have. I would really appreciate it if somebody could help me out with my dental work. It would be a life saver! I need everything done to my mouth. Thanks for reading this!!!

Need Teeth Pulled

Extractions and Dentures Needed

My dental problem are really simple to explain. I found out in 1994 that I had periodontal gum disease. At that time I had just moved to Washington State, had a job, but was unable to afford the treatment. To this day, I still cannot afford major dental work. I just went to a dentist last month he says I have total decay of all teeth and major bone loss. I need them all extracted. What I would prefer is the bottom implant plate and regular denture on top, but will take whatever is available.

61 And Need Dental Work Badly

I'm 61 years old, lost my job and need dental work badly.

I lost my job as pipeliner in 2007 and haven't been able to find permanent work since that time. I haven't been to a dentist since that year and my teeth are breaking throughout my mouth, exposing the dental fillings to the roots and it hurts.

I can't afford health insurance, let alone dental insurance, and have tried for months to get on the waiting list at a Dental School in Dallas, Texas, but can never get thru because the line is constantly busy. I live in Terrell,TX, about 35 miles from Dallas. If anyone has any suggestions on getting cheap dental care, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks.

Fixed Dental Bridge Needed

I need a fixed dental bridge and am looking for low cost or free dental work. I have a dental bridge, but recently when eating, it came out. I'm in a lot of pain and the gums are very sore. I need to get this work done, but dont have the money. I went to a dentist who told me that it would cost around $13,000. I lost my job and am in the process of still looking for another. Thank you.
